A variety of VERDE in the forest scheme you know.  
We need the GREEN in the trees and grass, for the world to grow and grow.

AZUL in our heavenly skies; look and take your pick.  
From baby BLUE to royal blue, ocean blues are mix.  

VIOLETA rain sang with a guitar.  
PURPLE Rain is a song; sung by a Prince, standing on stage as a star.

PINK is the color of her to-to and shoes, that she dances, cursee’, swirl and go.

On MARRON tables and chairs is where we sit and dine;
BROWN wooded furniture distinctively crafted so fine.

BLANCO is the paper for the artist to start, what they want to create.  
Be sure to write in the WHITE paper your signature and the date.
